Last Book You Finished?

Unseen Academicals - Terry Pratchett 9/10
another fine bite into the Disc World universe
never been a fan of sports movies or games outside of ted lasso and most mario sports. this is kinda the two fused
has nothing to do with sports but at the same time, sports, and wizards, and random enjoyable shit!

Uh you know I'm not even sure but I think it was a Warcraft novel of some sort. Not much time to read these days.

Convexity from the Geometric Point of View. 10/10, would write it again.

...

Oh, that's not what you.... oh... ahem.... nice weather?

Cheers!

Loved "The Gods Themselves", by Asimov.

Over the past year, I've read more than a couple dozen different book series. Mostly various fantasy and LitRPG, purely entertaining in nature to relax your soul.
But since these are recent books of a local nature, they do not have translations into English (only a small percentage of them even have audio versions).

From the international side, I have long read an excellent series - Garret P.I., from the author Glen Charles Cook. A cycle about the adventure of a private detective in a non-standard fantasy world, written in a noir style. Highly recommend 9/10.
His other 2 series were so enjoyable and memorable:
1) The Black Company - I read it long ago with very little experience with books. A good dark series. 8/10
2) Starfishers - is a short series of old space science fiction. 7/10

The series of books on Warcraft was also interesting, but I read it back in 2012; I can’t say anything about the newer books in this series.

Maths Text book:)

"The Lusty Argonian Maid" by Crassius Curio, sophisticated & exquisite reading for men of culture.

Last one was "The Library at Mount Char" by Scott Hawkins, it's this bizarre postmodern sci-fi/fantasy thing about a group of kids learning magic basically, but since it's postmodern one of them only learns "secrets and lost things", another's a glorified linguist but is lowkey OP because everything has its own language and she knows most of them, stuff like that.

It gets pretty unsettling at times, there's some genuinely bone chilling imagery in there and it treads into horror territory pretty often I'd say. If it sounds like something you guys might like you should check it out! I really enjoyed it tbh.

I'm currently reading "Neanderthals Rediscovered: How Modern Science is Rewriting Their Story" by Dimitra Papagianni and Michael A Morse. And "Legends of the Nahanni Valley" by Hammerson Peters

The last book I finished was "Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America's Clovis Culture" by Dennis J Stanford and Bruce A Bradley

Next will most likely be "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari

Shadow's Son by Jon Sprunk. It is a book about an assassin that is followed by a spectral woman. He takes a contract and then things start to go downhill. I've enjoyed the book and I'll read the next one when I'll have a while. As it goes for books that I'd recommend. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski and The Lord of The Ice Garden by Jacek Grzędowicz. There's a few more, but I'd have to remind myself of their titles.
Any Fantasy or Sci-fi boos you'd recommend?

Finished Recently:
The Satanic Verses, not what it sounds like
Sarong Party Girls, not my normal read, but I read it for the Singlish

Almost done:
The City Reader
Sourcery, Terry Pratchett is amazing.

Last finished one was "Flipnosis: The Art of Split-Second Persuasion" by Kevin Dutton, the book was for me a 10/10, was really well written, used a free speach language, and most importantly, it made me laugh a lot, realising that I applied what he written most of the time, without "realising".
Now I'm almost done with "TUF Voyaging" by R.R. Martin, so far I really enjoy it, another well written SF story which could be adapted to a movie that I'd watch for sure, a 9/10 so far because I'm not a fan of cats 😂 (I know that this will bring me some BLs, seeing how many cat lovers are around... but NOT from you for sure because you already added me there a while ago 😅).

The last book I finished was Terry Pratchett's "Thud!". 9/10. I can't give a good review since I am not very good at English but it has all the charm and humor you'd expect from a Terry Pratchett's novel. And the way I see it, it's anti-war.
My favorite books are "The Amber Chronicles" series by Roger Zelazny and "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King.

Is all the paperwork with my new medicine a book... Or at least the discharge papers?

Letters from Father Christmas, solid 8/10, very cute

Crimson Fists Omnibus from Warhammer 40k I enjoyed so its a 9/10 for me because of some of the characters names being hard to remember lmao.
As for what I'm reading right now... I have started the Metro 2033 book and another short book that my gf shared with me(Clarimonde by Theophille Gautier)

The Cat Who Wanted to Save Books, nice and pretty quick read, 7/10. Gobbled it up in pretty much one day off ^^

Rogue Star, a wh40k book by Frederik Pohl and Jack Williamson

I pretty much only listen to audiobooks alsmost everyday when I take a walk.
Just finished Stephen King Sleeping Beauties. Worst Stephen King audiobooks I listened to over the years. :)

Midnight at the Pera Palace: The Birth of Modern Istanbul

Solid 7.5/10

The scope goes far beyond Istanbul, trying to capture the intricacies of the tumultuous changes in post-Ottoman, inter-war Turkey. Occasionally falls flat as the subject is just massive. I also felt that the author was trying to tiptoe around too controversial issues. However, there are great insights into an immense cultural richness that is now lost to time, e.g. the club scene of Istanbul.

Knife by Jo Nesbø

He's in the signal corps now
book is free on archive.org

Basically a ww2 manual about what to expect if you end up in that branch of the US army. Light read, lot of pictures, if i had to rate it its 6,5/10, really niche topic

A poetic anthology by the author Alfonsina Storni.

The Lost Metal (Mistborn VII) - Brandon Sanderson.

I really enjoyed every book of Cosmere universe i read so i have already started with the next one of my list: Warbreaker. 150 pages read in 4 days :)
(i would like to have some more free time).

Since I finally read all Potter books, the last one was Quidditch Through The Ages, 6/10 (for fans only).
Currently I'm continuing the Dune franchise with Hunters of Dune.

I'm almost done with "Red Side Story" and to prepare myself for it I reread "Shades of Grey" before that which was the first part of that story. (Don't confuse that with the smutty twilight fanfic.) I like all the books by Jasper Fforde, he has extremely weird ideas for his storys and does interesting things with them. Sometimes I feel like those ideas get away from him but it's still great fun!
